Lyrics
I used to sell a lot of things
CDs and records, t-shirts and magazines
I used to sell a lot of things
Patches and stickers so I could buy guitar strings
I used to buy a lot of things
Cigarettes and coffee and gasoline
You know, kinda sucks when you're in a band
You gotta pull it together to travel across the land
It just got me down
I'd just sit in the car and drive from town to town
I tell people not to drive but I'm just a clown
'Cause I drive more than anyone, yeah
And I just drive around
Tell people to eat right and to follow their hearts
But you know, I'm not very smart
'Cause I, I get my dinner at the mini-mart
Went to the demonstration to say no more oil
And the cops, they sprayed mace in my face
You know, we'd go on tour in the summer
But the van's got a leak, we spray oil all over the place
Went to see Judy Barry talking about saving some redwood trees
And she sang some songs
She didn't have to use no electricity
And she didn't have to flex up no CDs
And she didn't have to make no book with a sleeve
She didn't have to kill nothing to say her piece
And it got me to thinking about how
Maybe I'm just too attached to people
Talking about my latest record
Selling shit and getting tax-free cash
And it got me to thinking about how
I'm not really living the life I'm talking about
So I, I gave it up and I left the city
Got a place with a yard and I planted myself a garden
I used to sell a lot of things
Until I, I found out just how many
About fifteen thousand of each release
Had something worn out in the shrink wrap
I used to buy a lot of things
But you know, I'll just sit and watch my garden grow
When the summertime comes
I'll just eat from my garden and live like a bum
I'm gonna put some roots down
I'm gonna put some roots down
I'm gonna put some roots down
And I am gonna grow
I'm gonna put some roots down
I am gonna put some roots down
I'm gonna put some roots down
And I am gonna grow
I'm gonna put some roots down
I am gonna put some roots down
I'm gonna put some roots down
And I am gonna grow
